Basic Description

The dataset presented in this map includes the Kenmore waterfront cleanup sites, which span all over Washington state. The two data fields shown in this map are the risk level and the clean-up statuses of these sites. The base map shown here consists of a choropleth providing information on the average risk level of each county. The folium objects consist of layer-controlled objects that are filtered by feature groups.

Data Encodings

• Basic encodings: The base map consists of a choropleth map which is layered with marker clusters with markers that are colored by the cleanup statuses (green - reported cleaned up/no further action, orange - in progress, red - awaiting cleanup). Markers are labeled with icons that help tell the difference between each for better accessibility(smiley face - reported cleaned up/no further action, meh face - in progress, sad face - awaiting cleanup). When clicking on the markers, the cleanup site's name will appear for view.
• Layer Control: The layer control at the top right of the map is provided to filter between the different feature groups (choropleth map & different risk levels). Users can use it to get data between different risk-level sites to view the cleanup status.
